France has one of the best military records of all time:

the French participated in 50 of the 125 major European wars that have been fought since 1495; more than any other European state.

In addition, out of all recorded conflicts which occurred since the year 387 BC, France has fought in 168 of them, won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10.
